Heads Up
You can always read the New York Times (aka the Genius Times) Sunday Magazine online by Friday afternoon, well before it's Sunday morning release date. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up on an article so fatuous, so glaringly offensive that it is almost laughable.
Headline: Kebabing Along
Subject Line: Even amid the ravages of war, Afghans enjoy wonderful food.
Really? REALLY? A table for two, and please, don't seat us in the middle of the mine field like you did last time. I think what she really meant was "Even amid the ravages of war, Western Journalists manage to eat wonderful food in front of desperately poor Afghans who are dying of hunger." The end of the article features a recipe for a traditional Afghan dish, Buranee Banjan, which the writer suggests making with "three or four ounces of diced prosciutto", an ingredient that would no doubt cost an Afghan three months' salary.
Someone should hang for this. And then they should be eaten, I think that's fitting. Skewered and eaten, by Afghans, who even amid the ravages of war manage to enjoy the human flesh of assholes.
